Beauty?
Try to describe intellectual beauty, in poetry or prose. Not simply something that is beautiful, but the essence of beauty or the quality itself.
There you stand by the fire
With an open hand
Heart song tuned like a lyre
Flows through you like sand
The mind, the body are strong in you
The sheltered heart and the closed eyes unfold
For you draw all near to you
Preaching the things you behold
So teach me your ways, teach me how to heal
Your mind alone, I wish I could steal
This makes me weak
The desire to fix and tweak
You never show your faults to me or others
So nobody thinks, nobody will ever discover
The pain you go through that hides deep in you
I hope to learn how to control it
